Question 12

WID

Answer 12

Workday ID is a globally unique identifier (GUID) that Workday automatically generates on all customer data. Workday IDs consist of a 32-character, nonchanging string. For example,
b0685b69d8ac412582c0a44d7973f707.

WIDs are unique within each Workday environment. Thus, the same Workday object has different WIDs in the Production, Sandbox, and Implementation tenants. In class, you will rarely use the WID except for organization visibility. This is a Global WID and is the same for all tenants.

Question 13

Instance ID

Answer 13

Instance ID is an internal integration ID that Workday generates (e.g., 216$1). The first numbers identify object class or type (e.g., organizations). The last numbers indicate instance count.

Question 14

External ID

Answer 14

External ID is a two-part unique identifier that is controlled by an external system and can change. External IDs consist of:

A system ID, which identifies an integration system in Workday. For example, ADP is a system ID for a tenanted integration system between Workday and ADP payroll system.

A value which identifies a business object instance. For example, W-001 is the external
ID value for the western region instance of the sales organization.
